http://fanboyandgothgirl.com/coolness/20-questions-answered/#commentsThu, 10 Dec 2009 19:06:49 +0000http://fanboyandgothgirl.com/?p=345A month or so ago, I put out a call for questions that I could answer in a video my publisher wanted to put together. Between comments on the web site and e-mails, I received well over a hundred questions, which were whittled down to twenty, with the help of my publisher.

And now, with no further ado, here’s the video!

http://fanboyandgothgirl.com/the-book/happy-goth-girl-rising-day/#commentsMon, 19 Oct 2009 15:20:25 +0000http://fanboyandgothgirl.com/?p=342 The book has been slowly making its way into stores for a couple of weeks now, but today is the official publication day for Goth Girl Rising! Which means that the book should be in stores everywhere. (Note that I said "should." If it isn’t in your local store, ask the nice folks behind the counter to order a copy for you. They should be happy to do so.)

I hope everyone out there enjoys the book. I know that many of you have been waiting since the original publication of The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl for this book to come out. Well, it’s here! So go have some fun with it.

To celebrate, I’ve added a couple of pages over at BarryLyga.com, under the Goth Girl Rising item in the Novels menu. First up is a Reviews page, where I’ve posted excerpts from some of the reviews the book has received to date. I’m happy to report that — so far — people seem to like it.

Secondly, I’ve posted a deleted scene from the book. I don’t think it really has any spoilers in it, but it will probably make more sense if you read the book first.

That’s all for now — have a great Goth Girl Rising Day! I hope you will let me know what you think of the book!

So, people want to know how they can get one of their own. Who can blame them?

Well, one way to get the minimate is to buy Goth Girl Rising! Hey, let's face it — if you're on this page, odds are you were going to buy the book anyway, right? So why not get a little something extra in the bargain? To find out how to get the minimate when you buy the book, go to this page.

But hey — some of my favorite words in the world are "No Purchase Necessary." So, here's another — new — way to get the Goth Girl Minimate. It's dead easy.

See that very cool Goth Girl Rising widget a little further down on the page? Of course you do. Just click on the "Share" button and put that widget on your MySpace or Facebook or web site or blog. Then, send an e-mail to widget@barrylyga.com containing the link to your page with the widget AND your full mailing address.

Now, it's no fair to create an obscure, dead page on your blog or your site and just stash the widget there. That's not cool. No, the idea here is to spread the love! So, put the widget somewhere prominent, like on your front page. Stick it there, then send the e-mail.

Every week for the month of October, I will choose fifteen winners at random and send them minimates.

Here's the widget — have fun!

http://fanboyandgothgirl.com/coolness/buy-goth-girl-rising-get-a-minimate/#commentsWed, 23 Sep 2009 14:56:23 +0000http://fanboyandgothgirl.com/?p=334UPDATE (9/24): The book is shipping now from online sellers, which means it’s either already in stores or will be showing up soon. The rules below still apply: Buy the book from your preferred source, send the proof of purchase, and you’re entered.

Want a Goth Girl minimate? Well, if you do (and who wouldn't — she's so cute…in a totally kick-ass way, of course), then odds are you also want to read Goth Girl Rising. So I'm here to show you how you can kill two birds with one stone.

This idea was inspired by bestselling author Joe Finder, who was kind enough to grant me permission to steal his idea and make some modifications to it. It's pretty simple…

If you actually see Goth Girl Rising on sale in a store, go ahead and buy it. (You know you want to…) Similarly, if you go to pre-order the book online and it's ready to ship, that's cool, too.

E-mail a PDF or a JPG file of the preorder form or the receipt from step 1 or 2 to this special e-mail address: minimate@barrylyga.com. Be sure to include your full mailing address! This e-mail address is ONLY for this promotion! No one will be answering questions sent there, so if you have questions, ask them in the comments below or use the contact form.

The first 100 people who e-mail their receipt/preorder form will get a Goth Girl minimate!

From everyone else who sends in their information, we will randomly pick another 100 people to get a Goth Girl minimate!

If you don't know how to to make a PDF or a JPG from something on your screen…

If you buy the book at a brick-and-mortar store and you don't own a scanner, you can have your receipt scanned at places like Kinko's and similar office supply/services stores.

You CANNOT just forward or e-mail a text confirmation or e-mail confirmation from an online store! It needs to be a file showing the web site's confirmation screen or a scan of a paper receipt from a store!

Sorry, but this offer is for U.S. readers only.

Whew! There you go! Have fun!

An early copy of Goth Girl Rising came to my via UPS. And my God, people — this cover is so freakin' gorgeous in person I just had to take a picture of it for you. Along with a Kyra minimate standing in front of it like George C. Scott, of course!

Check it out! And click for a larger image.
